Raising a piggy in India
Kamya, your chances of finding timothy hay are much higher in Delhi, than Bangalore. I'd contact that link you had posted, and ask them about it. They had a hay bale listed, if I remember correctly.
There are also a few other links throughout this thread.
I bring mine from the US, sorry! There are a few places that I can find hay here if it is desperately necessary, though.
1. Wet Pets located on Infantry road, behind the Sony Center
2. Another pet store (that I cannot recall the name of right now) is parallel to Infantry road. Tell your relatives to take a left after Safina Plaza, and they will see the shop on their right, after about a half km.
3. PAWS pet supply store. I cannot remember how to reach there right now, but they have a facebook page. They are located near Eva Mall.
Their hay and pellets are not always in stock, so It's best to call in advance.
Paws did not carry hay the last time I checked, but they did have pellets. However, that was over a year ago, and they might carry hay now. Paws has pens that can be used as a cage, fleece blankets, fleece pads, and a lot of other things can be custom made. They are pricey, however.

Vallaria and ag_14, all the best with your piggies!
Pushkar, they didn't chew the cardboard, because the walls were quite high. It's not as good as coroplast/sunboard, but it will make do until you can get some.

Hello I am a guinea pig owner in India, Nagpur. According to symptoms I think he is suffering from stones can you please suggest me any good Vet. I m tiered finding a good Vet for small exotic animals like guinea pig but all I get here is Vet for dogs.
Please do inform me if you know any. I am fed up of all those dog vets experimenting on my small guinea pig.

TANVI- It is very difficult to find an exotic animals vet in India. All of us are facing the same problem :(
What I do is explain the condition of my piggies on the medical forum here, gather how much ever advice and information I can and then take my piggies to the vet. Feel free to ask any questions arising in your mind to the vet because you don't want your piggy to be wrongly treated. I almost questioned a vet on his practice for subscribing penicillin drugs to my piggies.
Have you opened a medical thread on your piggy? If not, please do so. People here are more than willing to help :)
